OPEN THREAD: What are the best wood pellets to use for a Traeger or pellet grill?

One of the most common questions in online forums and groups of pellet grill owners is “What kinds of pellets are out there?” Many questions seem to reflect negative things they’ve heard about “other brands,” and murmurs of possible additives, binders, oils, fillers or scents in some pellets. Sounds gross, right?

Others state concern with warnings on their grills that using any other pellets will “void the manufacturer warranty.”
